Finally back.

Lin Xiaoyuan chased the wind and waves along the way, and finally rushed back before the spring equinox.

He first returned to his home, and found that the small house was now covered with dust.

Lin Xiaoyuan did not use his spiritual power to clean up, but as usual, he went to the well in the village and carried two buckets of water, wet the rag, and wiped off the dust little by little.

After that, he spread out the moldy bedding and draped the flower cotton jacket that his grandmother had not sewn before she died.

In four years, Lin Xiaoyuan's body was pumped, but he still twisted his body and put on a big cotton jacket into a small vest.

Thanks to this experience, Lin Xiaoyuan has a deeper understanding of what death is.

Sunlight penetrated through the loopholes in the roof, and the flowing light not only brightened the bright red peony embroidered with gold trim on the cotton jacket, but also gently shone into the yellowing and silent door frame.

There are still a few notches on the door frame, although they are not too deep, but they can stop the light and shadow, and they can circle the passing years.

Lin Xiaoyuan stood in place, recalling the scene when his grandmother stood on the bench to measure his height, and his heart was slightly bitter.

He looked at the eight marks gloomily, and the light and shadow in his eyes gathered and dispersed.

Although he lived in poverty and the roof leaked rain could not protect the warmth, it was such a small place that filled his entire childhood.

There are laughter and tears, and they are more moved.

He bent down slightly, wiping the scratches from the bottom up, counting them one by one.

Three-year-old butterfly, four-year-old chasing dragonfly, five-year-old handing velvet thread, six-year-old helping needles.

Literate at the age of seven, late at the age of eight, busy with agriculture at the age of nine, and wear filial piety clothes at the age of ten.

Eleven, twelve, and thirteen, the bamboo basket was replaced by two, and the shovel was without a blade.

Lin Xiaoyuan raised his hand and turned into a sharp knife, and made three more cuts on the door frame.

At the beginning of the fourteenth year, he traveled far away, the fifteenth was hard to defend the city, and the sixteenth wanderer returned.

This time, don't need grandma's nicks, just have a good rest.

Then Lin Xiaoyuan went to the town to buy some bricks and tiles, and repaired the roof leakage and wind intake.

He took a breath and couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he thought of the nasal cavity that was not smooth in every cold winter in his memory.

After all, the house was not big, and there was not much furniture, so Lin Xiaoyuan cleaned up the room after a while.

The weeds in the yard were also cleared, and a lot of big moon flowers that my grandmother liked when she was alive were also planted.

Looking at the brand-new house, Lin Xiaoyuan smiled, wrapped the red cotton jacket layer by layer and buried it deep in the ground, and then strode towards the pharmacy of the shopkeeper Lin.

————————————

Far away, Lin Xiaoyuan saw two cyan rattans on the top of the pharmacy, which had now turned yellow.

Those two ugly gilded characters at first glance have lost their charm, and now they are ugly whether they are rough or close.

Lin Xi Xiaoyuan was very shocked in his heart, worried about whether this town had experienced anything bad during the time they had left, or whether the shopkeeper Lin had experienced something.

When he came to the pharmacy and saw the shopkeeper Lin safe and sound, he was immediately relieved.

"Xiaoyuan is back, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Shopkeeper Lin is still holding a general's belly and smiling.

"It's a layer of heaven, it's amazing, it's just-"

Lin Xiaoyuan saw the hesitation of the shopkeeper Lin, and hurriedly spoke: "Uncle Lin, I encountered some accidents on the road, and it was a last resort to break through, but I had to be assigned by someone to solve it." ”

Shopkeeper Lin interrupted Lin Xiaoyuan's next explanation, "The future is terrifying, let's talk about it later, let's go, go home with my uncle for dinner." ”

"Uncle Lin, Brother Honeysuckle, Brother Tao, and Beiguang, are they back?" Lin Xiaoyuan asked cautiously.

"My cub came back once and then left, he followed an old monk to study the Fa, and he wanted to go through the training ground elsewhere, so he didn't go with you. He came back to say goodbye to me. The old monk was unfathomable, and I didn't fight him, so I had to let the old monk take him away. ”

Shopkeeper Lin's tone was calm, and he didn't seem to be angry because of it, but Lin Xiaoyan still felt a faint anger and a little sadness from his tone.

"Xiao Tao and Xiao Beiguang should be coming soon, well, there are still a few days, don't worry, eat first, wait slowly."

————————————

Early in the morning on the day of the spring equinox, Lin Xiaoyuan was busy reinforcing the gatehouse and cleaning the dust, when he heard the voices of people in the east, very cheerful, and one of them was the loudest.

"Hahaha, sir, I'm back!"

Lin Xiaoyuan heard a few very familiar laughter, and had some guesses in his heart, and he couldn't hide his happiness, so he hurriedly ran out.

Sure enough, it was Lin Beiguang, the little clever ghost with a baby face who loved to read fairy books.

Lin Beiguang was looking at the familiar street with excitement at this time, and when he saw the gray-clothed young man rushing over at the end of the street, his laughter became even louder.

"Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan, I want to kill your brother Beiguang!"

Lin Beiguang jumped down from a black wild boar, regardless of the dust on his body, he came up and gave Lin Xiaoyuan a bear hug.

There are already a lot of villagers gathered around to watch the excitement.

Not far away, Lin Beiguang's father and mother also ran here with tears in their eyes.

After a farewell or two years, the skinny child in the past has grown into a teenager, strong and straight, but the baby face is still the same, the appearance is cute, there is no longer a black long sword pattern in the center of the eyebrows, and the temperament is still very lively.

Between the eyebrows and eyes, all of them are full of youthful spirit.

"Brother Beiguang, I'm here, why do you still bring wild boars!"

A little boy with a horseshoe hairstyle said in a milky voice, and he didn't forget to gasp after speaking.

Lin Beiguang didn't answer but laughed, put the little boy on the back of the black pig next to him, and patted his buttocks, and the black pig arched around.

The little boy was so frightened that he spat wildly, his face was red in the face of anxiety, and he screamed wildly.

After the black pig ran for a while, the little boy found that he was still riding on it, and instantly turned red in a hurry, and began to shout loudly: "Drive-drive-drive-law-law-"

Lin Xiaoyuan stepped forward with a smile, watching Lin Beiguang pounce on his father's arms and smile reassuringly.

Lin Beiguang didn't coquettish for long, he broke free from his mother's arms, grabbed Lin Xiaoyuan's shoulders righteously, and joked with a smile: "It's okay, Xiaoyuan, it's been a good time!" I can't even see what realm it is, it's unfathomable, hurry up and hug your thighs! ”

Lin Xiaoyuan also followed, "If you are not careful, you will guard the realm of the sky." ”

Lin Beiguang's face froze, dragged Lin Xiaoyuan away from the crowd, and asked in a low voice, "Have you forgotten what Uncle Lin said before?" You have to endure it, you can only thin your hair by accumulating thickly, and it is best to break through in the new world! ”

"I accidentally learned some inside stories of the trial site this time, and I'll tell you when I go back, you go back to reunite with your uncles and aunts first, and see you in the old place in the evening."

Looking at Lin Beiguang, who was in a hurry on the side, Lin Xiaoyuan smiled very unkindly, "Brother Beiguang, see you at night!" ”

"What night, go, go to my house to eat noodles, my mother will definitely give us a big table." Lin Beiguang naturally wouldn't let go of Lin Xiaoyuan, who was halfway through his words, and dragged him to his house.

That night, Lin Xiaoyuan listened to Lin Beiguang's eyebrows fluttering and recounting what he had seen and heard along the way, although he also encountered some dangers, but he would not die because of it, plus Lin Beiguang's head was bright, he couldn't beat and run, and he cultivated to the ninth layer of the Observation Realm smoothly, and he also successfully lit the Dao fire.

Lin Beiguang snapped his fingers, and a blue flame emerged from between his fingers, and Lin Xiaoyuan suddenly felt that the surroundings were extremely cold.

In an instant, the temperature around him plummeted, and even Lin Xiaoyuan, who was guarding the first layer of the realm, felt that his breathing was cold and his throat was dry.
